This whole anti-intellectualism and the notion that faith is believing without evidence or contrary to evidence isn't based on the bible

yes
Father say - not just believe, but believe IN TRUTH. 

truth - something that HAVE proofs witnesses FACTS.

agree and glad that you seek truth not just with heart (Father NEVER teach that) but WITH MIND> logic.
+1 +1 +1 !!!

And faith in what the Bible says, will always overrule natural facts

natural facts show simply our condition. if we look on hurting, painful natural facts (sick, hungry and so on) faith doesnt not "overrule" those facts. it doesnt work that way.
shortly - if you are sick, hungry, too poor to pay yours appartment, what ever, in the Bible is described WHY it is so. Faith simply help us accept those rules and act right. 
physical world is simply reflection of spiritual world. 
spiritual rules affects our every day physical life.
faith is believe that is so , thats why it help us accept truth, act right and let Father fix that "natural fact"
healing, get money to pay, get food when hungry..
we call them " miracles" simply because we dont know well those rules.

very shortly that Father did reveal to me so far. 

dont know what plans Father have for you. He will reveal it to you, when you are ready (He will prepare you)
but what is wrong to use, what you are gifted for? Abba dont do anything just "for accident". or because "was kinda move that moment.."
if you have great voice - go on, use it
Exodus 28-3  You shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with a spirit of skill, that they make...
skill is also a voice and skill to sing 
and, if you are glad, that someone made compliment for you... dont get pride and enjoy it
what is wrong enjoy and like, what Abba did create? He did create you and yours voice - if anyone make compliment, just give glory to Abba and no worry

Oliver, i was in that situation. scared that my past will affect on my family. depression, wish to die, pecause no peace inside me. only one i did want - just peace and that my family could be happy. didnt get any relief for my heart. 
what can i say, after i knew some of about Father, if you already are father, then get married is one thing Father really like you to do

Psalm 33:5 He loves righteousness and justice; 

depression come from lack of knowledge and from lack of knowledge comes entrust.
thats why you feel depression and anxiety.

study Bible. if you (like it was for me) feel, while reading/study Bible, that almost everything you read, blames you, make you feel guilty - its ok, IT WILL END. it is cleaning process. 
Jesus did go it through. i did rebel against it (isnt pleasure to feel yourself most corrupted, unworthy and useless, right?). but then i did give up. just start seek answers, what to do with that, that hurt me most - myself. i start study what is "right and just" and how to do it. simple saying - i just start follow Jesus literally, how He teach, those things i did understand then and i could do. it did bring some relief. but honestly, until you are in cleaning, it wont end, just some days are better some not. trust make you feel less depressed. Father want you suffer less, that i know for sure. so, if you feel bad - seek answers. study Bible by yourself, to FASTEN that process.

 1  Peter 4-1 
Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh,[a] arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
1 Peter 4-12-13
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
But rejoice (1) insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed (2).

(1 - i could just cry)
(2 - i thought that will happen in heaven, but no, it will happen on earth. and rejoice is correct word, when that day comes  )

now about protect your family.

Psalm 32:10

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.

just think now, what you are ready to do, to protect yours child, that you love? Father will do much more  
 

dont live in fear "what if.." NEVER. if that "if" happens, He will lead you out. He will find a way, if you didnt recognize He's voice yet.
that is also matter of trust - 

Psalm 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

what its about? until you seek Father's Kingdom (what is just and what is right, Who He Is, What Jesus did teach ) you have nothing to worry about, but just seek answers and do the best you already can and know. then, you dont need to fear no evil.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

but are there some sins that maybe are too sinful?

sin is sin. even if we dont see how "small" sin affect to our / others life, doesnt make it less worse then "big" sin. 
i think you know sin, that even blood of Jesus dont wash away?
insulting Holy Spirit
taking mark of beast
(my oppinion is, what ever that sign is or look like, if i need something to have on my forehead or on/in right hand, that allow me simply buy/sell... i rather loose my life then eternity. but im sure Father reveals it for He's childrens, He find a way to everyone)
and third... (sorry if i refuse to argue or prove anything - who have eyes to see, that see)
is not doing Father's will.

about confess - find christian (even online) that you trust, confess and he will pray for you, that Father forgive you, IF you dont find relief after confessing it directly to Father in yours prayers.

I'm not a new Christian by any means. I was raised in the faith and so maybe that's where I struggle. I feel like I've become apathetic and lazy in my devotion to God and I guess I was wondering how you all manage it? Like, how do I stop being apathetic and make my life revolve around Christ, like I know it should? Any suggestions? 

only way (and i did seek YEARS for some other way) is - read Bible. if i get lukewarm or as you say (because it feels like this) apathetic,  i just force myself read Bible. first just one chapter at time or even less. every day.

God has told me that I must not sin

Abba never say that. If He say to not sin, He always say STEP BY STEP (literally!!!) what to do, TO NOT SIN. as i understand He didnt told you? then it was satan, putting you under chains, that you are not ready to deal with, to broke you.

I believe the witches come from a curse put on the family.

dont be never afraid of curse, if you didnt nothing to deserve it. Father will make it to blessings, if you are not guilty. if guilty, repent AND ask forgiveness and. dont be afraid.

I have come to the conclusion that they have used a Ouija board or something similar on me and it has stuffed a lot of stuff up

it is calling binding. you must name very correctly you believe you have binded with and UNBIND it IN THE NAME OF JESUS, as on earth so in heaven. and refuse to even think about it - satan may try to broke yours faith with doubts. stay in faith until you are sure (just repeat something from Bible, that help you believe, until you dont doubt anymore)
 

On Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 10:35 PM, Zara Jane said:

So about the ouija board, there was very strange and evil prescience in the house

yes, that is correct - occult things or false god things must be destroyed from yours house. 


one more thing - all those voices... when i did ask Father what to do, He told me - you must confess.
after i did, i told satan - get behind me satan, in The Name of Jesus! and did enjoy .... silence ^^
satan will talk with you in yours thoughts all yours life. just, time for you to understand - who is talking. Father, you or satan.

i do fight with satan for over 24 years. just share, what i have learned from Father so far.

Fear of the Lord is awesome!  Would you simply dive off a bridge or do you fear gravity?  Would you play in traffic on a three lane highway or do you respect fast moving and large vehicles?  Why then would one not fear him who is a consuming fire?

It was Grace that TAUGHT my heart to fear!

It was also Grace my fears releived!

Nobody is getting away with anything.  Not even these yahoos who preach Christ crucifed is the only important thing.  According to Hebrews God scourges every son he receives and God judges his people.  It is written that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God and I am here to testify that I have been chastened severley.  

But do I learn?  Sometimes I forget the lessons and fall into repeating past errors.  Then I get it again.  But for all the loving correction I have received at the hand of our Father, I have seen much more pity, compassion and understanding than anything.

God is good, give him the fear/reverence one ought or experience the loving chastening of Gods mighty hand.

can i add just 3 more +1? no? sad...

Just throwing in a couple cents here, there is also that scripture that says, as sinnersaved talked about ( but not the actual scripture), 'those who are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.' (Romans).

perfect and yes, yes! that "couple cents" is what Father wants from us.

I was waiting to hear  this comment. I believe im showing grace. But if your truly saved you KNOW HELL IS A PHYSICAL PLACE. MY HEART ACHES FOR THE LOVED ONES GOING THEIR.

If I have to hurt some feelings to snap us out of the Spirit of slumber (Romans) spirit of apathy lack of feeling. So BE IT! 

 I know alot of Brother in Christ much more blunt than me. As far for Scripture 

KJV 5 Jude 1:23 And others save with FEAR, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Witnessing with fire

KJV Titus  1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore REBUKE them SHARPLY, that they may be sound in the faith;  

Tough love witness with FIRE

KJV Psa  141:5  LET the RIGHTEOUS SMITE me; it shall be a KINDNESS : and let him REPROVE me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 

Im the salt of the earth as are the body of Christ. We are supposed to irritate. 

KJV Prv  27:6  Faithful are the WOUNDS of a FRIEND,  but the KISSES of an ENEMY  are DECEITFUL. 

 Kissed with the lie slapped with truth

 

Father told me once - leave them with they righteousness.

so be it.

no kisses, no slapping. who really seek truth, will find it.

HOW TRUTH SET YOU FREE

Father clean us. 
But some things are, we must do.
One is - stop sinning.
addiction, bad character, ...  = slavery

John 8 - 31 ...

Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

when i was struggle with one sin, Father did repeat those words - truth will set you free.
i was really mad on Him. Because couldnt understand, why He, teaching me every day new things, dont help me out in my slavery. i did search answers. did ask everyone i met, what to do.. 7 years every day i did fight with myself (often fails), seek answers and finally one day i just ... blow

i told Him - enough! that cant go on anymore! please help me!

Father - TO FIND ANSWER, YOU MUST FIRST FIND RIGHT QUESTION 

me - what question? i did seek everywhere i could! did everything i could!

Father - why you are angry?

i did answer

Father - repeated my answer and just simply did add WHY

i did answer 

Father did repeat my next answer and again did add WHY

so we did it many times... until He did ask question, that did scare me to death. from my honest answer did depend almost all i did care.

so, i did repeat that WHY rule many times, and every time it works.

i was free, after i did answer, WITH BLINK OF EYE! FOR GOOD

just some tips more

1 - do that when you are really upset - then you are most honest to yourself and dont care so much how painful might be answers.

2 - before you start - ask Father to help you FIND RIGHT QUESTION, (right answer is already IN YOU, you just need to find it)
 

3 - sometimes seeking right question may take time more then once trying. dont loose hope - when you are READY FOR ANSWER, you will find it.
FATHER MAKE YOU READY. just it takes time and some lessons.

JESUS  IS  TRUTH

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE literally.

Thank You

Iam therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth? 

you know higher truth, then Abba does?
how can you tell truth? if you lay ONLY on yours mind. 
He teach me 24 years. one if was - "KJV bible ONLY" believers are guilty in idolatry. Because they deny Spirit of Abba.  they lay on they mind, not on He's Spirit. and not only KJV bible believers - any Bible verse believers.

meaningless is to discuss anything, if we even dont agree in basics.

John 1-8 KJV

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

you say - show me?  AFTER your saved? from KJV.. i did

but why you say - show me? dont you know? so you are telling me, that after you are saved, you dont sin? or forgiveness is now automatic?

then why Jesus did give us prayer - forgive us our debts? for as daily prayer to christians?

First off use KJV Bible

i didnt made and wont make idol any Bible translation. if anything i dont understand or Abba see, that i dont understand correctly -He teach me and show truth. so i really dont care which translate i use. i dont believe and ever wont, that any Bible can be correctly understood without Abba's Spirit.

If you are TRULY saved. ALL SINS PAST PRESENT FUTURE ARE FORGIVEN period

spiritual rule : IF we confess, THEN He forgive us our sins.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, (then) He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.


James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

sometimes is enough to tell Father about it in prayers. sometimes (if we dont find peace) confess to other christian, that will pray for you and forgive you, is required.

repent is required

1 Kings 8:47 yet if they turn their heart in the land to which they have been carried captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and have acted perversely and wickedly,’

"I've never heard in all my life that God forgives you once, " yes, yes!

Matthew 3:8 Bear fruit in keeping WITH  repentance.

keeping - something that continue, last, remains, happen again and again

when we should repent?

Christian liberty means that Christians have been liberated from the bondage (or power) of sin. Sin cannot (and must not) have dominion over us. In practical terms it means walking in the Spirit, and not in the "flesh" (which includes sins of the spirit as below) . Here's how Paul puts it (Gal 5:16-25):

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

 

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

 

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

 

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

 

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

 

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

 

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

 

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Yes, it is about, how to not sin at all. but before you get there, lot of things is required, one of it is - get free from slavery of sin

 can we actually tell another brother or sister its okay to do this,  and tell them Sin is okay,? for many are guilty of this, or not to hurt feelings , or be cool to allow  Sin to happen, ? then that person I would think is not understanding the folly of his or her doing ?

i did fight with my sin 7 years. did i try to stop sinning? my sister did visit me every day, she can witness - i did EVERYTHING, that get ride of my sin.
i did talk with Father evey day, i did beg Him help me. i did told every day - just give me hint - from where to look answers, just give me something..

i did cry blood-tears literally

did hate myself

i did knew every verse from Bible, because almost whole Bible was in my head - so much i did study and seek answer

do you really think, that people want to be sinners? i didnt. but i just didnt knew, what to do and father did remain silence in that question (for purpose, He did explain me AFTER, HE DID FREE ME)

of course some dont want to even look inside them, they are afraid of truth. and after i did cry bloodtears, i understand them. problem is - its good to say - dont sin, but HOW is question.

Jesus did say - HOW, just i didnt understand it, because my pain blinded my  eyes and did bitter my heart against Father.

NOW i know. can describe it step by step. works with EVERY SIN... BUT

it take time. 

dont want hurt feelings, just, Jesus and Father, if they ever say, what i do wrong, always ADD step by step - HOW TO DO IT RIGHT or just simple not to do.

so lets learn from Father - if you say - dont sin, say .. how?
then there is something to discuss - practise.

that doubt is good. it shows, you dont know enough yet. maybe its good, if anyone give you advice, but i like to give you advice. i was alone, without church, when accepted Jesus. when i did study Bible on my own, alone, without any MAN near teaching me, i was surprised how little people know truth, after did met some.
Truth is - Father want to teach you by Himself.
Let Him.
How?
Read Bible at least once through. Then start study those passages, that move you or look for answers, that yours heart wants.

none, except Father dont see yours heart. and He will show you, what you need, on that time, when you need and on that time He did prepare you to accept truth (sometimes it hurts).

sadly looking for answers from people, is not good always (blind lead blind..). start from Bible study. but by yourself. pray before you read. ask Jesus to "open yours mind" (He did that with apostles) that you could understand scriptures.

you wont feel anything. but you will see difference , how much you understand, in time.

if you didnt find peace, it may be because many reasons. guessing is worse we can do, too easy to get deceived. look for truth, that only Father can show you (i cant see yours heart, nature, situations and future - so cant none but Father)

so, get some "milk" from Source <3 

i hope you enjoy time here

first christians didnt come together in temple, but in someones home.

if temple then was build for Father, why they didnt come together there?

why they did come together in someone home?

why is wrong to say "welcome" to someone, that is hypocrite or false teacher?

all that is about - "who are My brothers and sisters" (quoting Jesus)

so, if church (that is not bad idea, if there is hundreds of people) does not follow Spirit, what we can say - they astray? went left or right? back to world?

what apostles did, when that did happen to anyone in they midst?

its all about how to act right. its also about any church. question is - do yours church are leaded by Holy Spirit, do they walk in truth? do they seek truth? 

if not... dont want to annoy you, but Father told me - go out! ensure, you are not in they list.

(not that He couldnt say, am i still in the list of they people. He wanted to show me something, that is another story. but i do repeat it to those, who are yet learning to  recognize Hes voice. )

so, what really matter, is not building (home, church, coffee) but with who you come together.

and it is important to gather together time to time for us. very.

I am subjected to the law Jeff. I know to be honest, don't steal, don't covet, don't serve other gods, don't bow to graven images, don't cheat people, forgive, be a witness, keep Sabbath. I know Gods law is good and so I try to do what it requires But keeping His law in my mind does not fulfill righteousness in me. The Lord Jesus Christ is the promise to fulfill the righteousness of God and if I am not in Him and He is not in me there is no righteousness by the law and there is no eternal seed planted by the working of the law.

 

you see, Reintin. somehow people just dont notice what is acts really about. its about Holy Spirit leading - HOW Holy Spirit leads us. apostles didnt talk about it much, but asked often - walk in Spirit, do not sin anymore, as Jesus did live, so should we... and so on. but HOW is in acts.
i give You a hint.
(dont say im smart, just im blessed with good ears, thats all and love questioning Father. i just share what He say)

so - HOW?

Acts 1:2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

Acts 8:29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”

Acts 10:19 And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

Acts 11:12 And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.

Acts 13:2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

Acts 16:6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

Acts 16:7 And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there,

what we need is - circumcised ears

Acts 7:51 “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.

Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

if you are lead by Spirit, teach by Spirit, on time, when you really need to know some, you will get answer - do or not.

i believe, that eating still blood is sin. 

but about blood transfusions i never did ask. if im sick or my kids or someone i know or did met, i just ask Father what to do and Holy Spirit tell me, what Father says.

i believe that way (ask Father) should be considered with those, who love Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

will lead us to truth

after

we start seek truth

truth = proofs, witnesses, facts

Holy Spirit baptism -  gift is received

healing - happens time to time, have documents and witnesses.

prophecy - was given and yes, i have that gift through Holy Spirit baptism (and some more) 

He lead us through TALKING - have witnesses, several

those are facts, that none wont take away from me

those are facts, that prove to me - HE IS and Bible is true

and many more

i dont believe, i want believe truth, that is possible to prove, that have witnesses and facts -  He did give them to me. i stand on Rock. on truth. on Word.

always love - dont tell me, show me.
